Chilly Gonzales Summer Playlist

Well, here’s something unconventional for readers of Headphone Commute. I tried to get an interview with Chilly, but instead he submitted his personal summer playlist. In a way, it has created its own special feature, which, if you like it, I may ask other artists to do. Enjoy.

T’kias “Shofer Blosen” (Blowing the Ram’s Horn) by Abe SchwarzSome Jewish dance music in a minor key. I always tell my audiences that choosing major or minor is a political act!

Piano Solo: Prelude No. 2 in C-Sharp Minor by George GershwinThe perfect mix of European and American. Gershwin represents the beginning of the battle between art and entertainment at the beginning of the 20th century.

Tony Montana (feat. Drake) by FutureI mostly can’t handle too much auto-tune rap but Future is just so COMMITTED to it. I really hated this rapper when I first heard him but here he is on my list.
